"Ina Garten, the queen of effortless hosting, often mentions the importance of having a cocktail ready to go when friends, family, or guests arrive. Ina Garten's campari orange spritzer couldn't be easier to make, and that's the point of a house cocktail. To make this spritzer, add a few ice cubes to a highball glass, then pour in one-part Campari and two-parts orange or blood orange juice. Top it off with cold sparkling water and garnish with a slice of citrus."
"Orange juice cocktails, like the screwdriver or mimosa, inevitably taste like breakfast to me. Ina Garten's spritzer is a lighter version of the Garibaldi cocktail, a classic Italian aperitivo made of orange juice and Campari. Ina finishes the cocktail with sparkling water to make it more refreshing. Since this drink has a lower ABV, it's suitable to sip at gatherings any time of day, including early holiday dinners."
The Campari orange spritzer mixes one part Campari with two parts orange or blood orange juice, poured over ice in a highball glass and topped with cold sparkling water, garnished with a citrus slice. The addition of sparkling water lightens the bitter-sweet combination, creating a lower-ABV, refreshing aperitivo suitable for daytime or early holiday dinners. The drink functions as a house cocktail for effortless hosting because it requires only three ingredients and minimal prep. The spritzer resembles a lighter Garibaldi—classic orange juice and Campari—while offering a more festive, bubbly finish that still carries the aperitivo’s bitter backbone.
